Revising
I have always dreaded peer editing days at school. I am not the best at revising my friends' writing pieces for a couple of reasons. First of all I'm not very good at judging their stuff on an english basis. I always take their work for what it is, without questioning it. Questioning is the basis of good editing though. It is my job to tell them what confused me and what I didn't like about it. I am also the worst when it comes to things like spelling and grammer. The second reason I am bad at peer editing is because I hate telling my friends that there is something I don't like about something they spent all night working on. It feels like I'm critiquing them instead of their paper. That is something that I have gotten over through the years because I love getting my papers edited because my editor is making it better. If I appreciate it, then I know my peers will as well
